GENERALAll vehicles can be used for a variety of tasks beyond the original intended use of the vehicle; therefore, it is impossible to anticipate and warn against every possible combination of circumstances that may occur. No warning can take replace good common sense and prudent driving practices.

Good common sense and prudent driving practices do more to prevent accidents and injury than all of the warnings and instructions combined. E-Z-GO strongly suggests that all users and maintenance personnel read this entire man-ual paying particular attention to the CAUTIONS, WARNINGS and DANGERS contained therein.

If you have any questions regarding this vehicle, contact your E-Z-GO dealer or write to the address on the back cover of this publication, Attention: Customer Care Department.

E-Z-GO reserves the right to make design changes without obligation to make these changes on units previously sold. The information contained in this manual is subject to change without notice.

E-Z-GO IS NOT LIABLE FOR ERRORS IN THIS MANUAL. E-Z-GO IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSE-QUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF THE MATERIAL IN THIS MANUAL.

• apply service brake to control speed on steep grades• maintain adequate distance between vehicles. • reduce speed in wet areas• use extreme caution when approaching sharp or blind turns• use extreme caution when driving over loose terrain• use extreme caution in areas where pedestrians are present

MAINTENANCEALWAYS:

• replace damaged or missing warning, caution or information labels• maintain the vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer’s periodic service schedule• ensure that repairs are performed by trained and qualified personnel• follow the manufacturer’s maintenance procedures• insulate any tools used within the battery area in order to prevent sparks or battery explosion• check the polarity of each battery terminal and be sure to rewire the batteries correctly• use specified replacement parts, NEVER use replacement parts of lesser quality• use recommended tools• determine that tools and procedures not specifically recommended by the manufacturer will not compromise the

safety of personnel nor jeopardize the safe operation of the vehicle• support the vehicle using wheel chocks and jack stands, NEVER get under a vehicle that is supported by a jack,

lift the vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions• maintain the vehicle in an area away from exposed flame or persons who are smoking• be aware that a vehicle that is not performing as designed is a potential hazard and must not be operated• test drive the vehicle after any repairs or maintenance in a safe area that is free of both vehicular and pedestrian

traffic• keep complete records of the maintenance history of the vehicle

The manufacturer cannot anticipate all situations, therefore people attempting to maintain or repair the vehicle must have the skill and experience to recognize and protect themselves from potential situations that could result in severe personal injury or death and damage to the vehicle. Use extreme caution and, if unsure as to the potential for injury, refer the repair or maintenance to a qualified mechanic.

VENTILATIONAlways store gasoline vehicles in a well ventilated area. Ventilation prevents gasoline fumes from accumulating. Never fuel a vehicle in an area that is subject to flame or spark. Pay particular attention to natural gas or propane water heaters and furnaces.Never work around or operate a vehicle in an environment that does not ventilate exhaust gases from the area. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness and is potentially lethal.

2. Low Oil Pressure Indicator LightA low oil pressure indicator light is located on the dash panel. The light illuminates when the oil pressure is low. Check oil level. If oil level is between ADD and FULL mark on dipstick, a mechanical problem exists within the engine and the vehicle must not be driven. Contact a local distributor or authorized branch

3. Fuel Gauge The fuel gauge (if equipped) will either be located on the dash panel (electric) or directly on the fuel tank (mechani-cal).

4. Direction Selector

To reduce the possibility of component damage, the vehicle must be completely stopped before moving the direc-tion selector.

Located on the seat support panel, this lever permits the selection of either ‘F’ (forward) or ‘R’ (reverse). Vehicle should be left in ‘F’ when unattended.

5. Accelerator Pedal

Unintentional movement of the accelerator pedal will release the park brake and may cause the vehicle to move which could result in severe injury or death.With the key switch ‘ON’, depressing the accelerator pedal starts the engine. When the pedal is released, the engine will stop. To stop the vehicle more quickly, depress the service brake.

If key switch is ‘ON’ and park brake is set, depressing the accelerator inadvertently will release the park brake and will cause the vehicle to move which could cause severe injury or death.

Depressing the accelerator pedal will release the park brake if it is engaged. This is a feature to assure the vehicle is not driven with the park brake engaged. Depressing the accelerator pedal is not the preferred method of releasing the park brake.

Depressing the lower section of the brake pedal is the preferred method of releasing the park brake to assure the longest service life of brake components.

6. Brake and Park BrakeThe brake pedal incorporates a park brake feature. To engage, push down on the upper section of the pedal until it locks in place. The park brake will release when the service brake pedal is depressed. Use the lower section of the brake pedal to operate the service brake system.

7. HornThe horn is operated by pushing the horn button located on the floor to the left of the brake pedal.

WHEELS AND TIRES

A tire explosion can cause severe injury or death. Never exceed the inflation pressure rating on the tire sidewall.To reduce the possibility of tire explosion, pressurize tire with small amounts of air applied inter-mittently to seat beads. Due to the low volume of the small tires, overinflation can occur in sec-onds. Never exceed the tire manufacturer’s recommendation when seating a bead. Protect face and eyes from escaping air when removing a valve core.To reduce the possibility of severe injury caused by a broken socket when removing wheels, use only sockets designed for impact wrench use.DO NOT use low inflation tires on any E-Z-GO vehicle. DO NOT use any tire which has a recom-mended inflation pressure less than the inflation pressure recommended in the owner’s guide.Use caution when inflating tires.

Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the low volume of the small tires, overinflation can occur in seconds. Overin-flation could cause the tire to separate from the wheel or cause the tire to explode.Tire inflation should be determined by the condition of the terrain. See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS section for rec-ommended tire inflation pressure. For outdoor applications with major use on grassy areas, the following should be considered. On hard turf, it is desirable to have a slightly higher inflation pressure. On very soft turf, a lower pres-sure reduces the possibility of tires cutting into the turf. For vehicles being used on paved or hard surfaces, tire infla-tion pressure should be in the higher allowable range, but under no condition should inflation pressure be higher than recommended on tire sidewall. All four tires should have the same pressure for optimum handling characteristics. Be sure to install the valve stem dust cap after checking or inflating.The vehicle is fitted with low pressure tubeless tires mounted on one piece rims; therefore, the most cost effective way to repair a puncture in the tread is to use a commercial tire plug.

Tire plug tools and plugs are available at most automotive parts outlets and have the advantage of not requiring the tire be removed from the wheel.

If the tire is flat, remove the wheel and inflate the tire to the maximum recommended pressure for the tire. Immerse the tire in water to locate the leak and mark with chalk. Insert tire plug in accordance with manufacturer’s instruc-tions.

To reduce the possibility of severe injury, be sure the mounting/demounting machine is anchored to floor. Wear OSHA approved safety equipment when mounting/demounting tires.If the tire is to be removed or mounted, the tire changing machine manufacturer’s recommendations must be fol-lowed in order to reduce possibility of severe injury.

Wheel Installation

To reduce the possibility of component damage, do not tighten lug nuts to more than 85 ft. lbs. (115 Nm) torque.

It is important to follow the ‘cross sequence’ pattern when installing lug nuts. Thiswill assure even seating of the wheel against the hub.

With the valve stem to the outside, mount the wheel onto the hub with lug nuts. Finger tighten the lug nuts (1) in a ‘cross sequence’ pattern. Tighten the lug nuts to 50 to 85 ft. lbs. (68 to 115 Nm) torque in 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm) increments following the ‘cross sequence’ pattern.

Unidirectional TiresSome vehicles may be fitted with unidirectional tires. These tires may be identified by a directional arrow on the sidewall. Be sure to position the wheel on hub correctly with arrow indicating direction of rotation when moving forward.

The selection of oil is dependent upon the service that the vehicle will perform. Most vehicles require 10W-30 oil, whereas vehicles used at capacity or near capacity load applications will utilize 10W-40 oil after a break-in period of 100 hours.

If vehicle is to be stored over winter months, it can be stored with old oil left in engine. The oil should be changed as part of spring maintenance. This will remove any moisture that has accumulated during storage.

Be aware that engine fluids may be hot and contact to the skin may cause severe burns. Wear rubber gloves to protect skin from exposure to the old oil and degreaser.

The oil should be changed with engine warm. Park vehicle on a level surface, engage parking brake and remove key. Place a drain pan under engine. Wipe top of the engine clean with a cloth. Remove the oil fill cap.

Clean the area around filter. Using a filter wrench, strap wrench or other suitable wrench, remove the filter (B) from the engine and allow the oil to drain. The ‘O’ rings may remain on engine (A) or filter (B)

Inspect the filter. Make sure the ‘O’ ring is not left on the engine surface.

Be careful of hot oil when drained. It may be hot enough to burn you severelyDrain the oil by removing the drain plug found at the rear of the engine base. Remove using a 3/4" wrench. At the first oil change, small metal chips and lint may be found. This is normal, resulting from the break-in period. Inspect the filter at every oil change. The presence of large metal chips could indicate possible damage to the engine.

Wipe the area around the drain plug mount with a lint free cloth and inspect the drain plug (A) for damage; replace if necessary. Replace the "O"-ring (B) with a new one and tighten to 61 in. lbs. (7.0 Nm) torque. Apply engine oil to the oil filter seal and install oil filter onto the engine until the seal contacts mounting surface of the engine. Then turn the filter 2/3 to 3/4 rotations by HAND(S). Pour in the specified type and amount of oil See “Capacity and Replacement Parts” chart on page 55.Oil capacity is 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters). Add slightly less than 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters) to allow for possible residual oil left in engine. The oil must be high quality oil that meets or exceeds API SF, SG, CC standards. Check oil level on dipstick. Oil should be slightly below ‘H’ to allow for expansion. If necessary, continue to add oil slowly and allow time for oil to flow down into engine. Check oil level on dipstick. Do not overfill.

Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause smoking or allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.

Both the oil dipstick and fill cap must be in place before operat-ing the engine. Failure to install the dipstick and fill cap will result in oil being discharged into the engine compartment

BATTERY CLEANING

To reduce the possibility of damage to vehicle or floor, neutralize acid before rinsing battery.To reduce the possibility of damage to electrical components while cleaning, do not use a pressure washer.Cleaning should take place per the Periodic Service Schedule.When cleaning the outside of the battery and terminals, first spray with a solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and water to neutralize any acid deposits before rinsing with clear water.Use of a water hose without first neutralizing any acid, will move acid from the top of the battery to another area of the vehicle or storage facility where it will attack the metal structure or the concrete/asphalt floor. Additionally, a resi-due will be left on the battery which is conductive and will contribute to the discharge of the battery.

To reduce the possibility of battery explosion that could result in severe injury or death, do not use metallic spray wand to clean battery and keep all smoking materials, open flame or sparks away from the battery.The correct cleaning technique is to spray the top and sides of the battery with a solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and water. This solution is best applied with a plastic spray bottle. The solution should consist of the 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and 1 quart (1 liter) clear water as shown. In addition to the battery, special attention should be paid to metal components adjacent to the battery which should also be sprayed with the sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) solution. Allow the solution to sit for at least three minutes; use a soft bristle brush or cloth to wipe the tops of the battery to remove any residue that could contribute to the self discharge of the battery. Rinse the entire area with low pressure clear water. Do not use a pressure washer.

BRAKES

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death, always evaluate pedal travel before operating a vehicle to verify some braking function is present.All driving brake tests must be done in a safe location with regard for the safety of all personnel.

Over time, a subtle loss of performance may take place; therefore, it is important to establish the standard with a new vehicle.

The Periodic Brake Performance Test should be performed regularly as an evaluation of braking system perfor-mance. It is useful as a method of identifying subtle loss of performance over time.

Periodic Brake Test For Mechanical Brakes

The purpose of this test is to compare the braking performance of the vehicle to the braking performance of new or ‘known to be good’ vehicles or to an established acceptable stopping distance. Actual stopping distances will be influenced by weather conditions, terrain, road surface condition, actual vehicle weight (accessories installed) and vehicle speed. No specific braking distance can be reliably specified. The test is conducted by latching the park brake to eliminate different pedal pressures and to include the affects of linkage mis-adjustment.

Establish the acceptable stopping distance by testing a new or ‘known to be good’ vehicle and recording the stopping location or stopping distance. For fleets of vehicles, several vehicles should be tested when new and the range of stopping locations or distances recorded.

Over time, a subtle loss of performance may take place; therefore, it is important to establish the standard with a new vehicle.

Drive the vehicle at maximum speed on a flat, dry, clean, paved surface. Quickly depress the brake pedal to latch the parking brake at the line or marker in the test area and remove foot from pedal. The vehicle should stop aggres-

The vehicle should stop within the ‘normal’ range of stop-ping distances. If the vehicle stops more than 4 ft. (1.2 m) beyond the acceptable stopping distance or pulls to one side, the vehicle has failed the test and should be tested again.If the vehicle fails the second test, it should immediately be removed from service. The vehicle must be inspected by a qualified mechanic who should refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section in the Technician’s Repair and Ser-vice Manual.

AIR INTAKE AND COOLING FINS

To prevent possible burns, engine parts should be kept clean to reduce risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated debris. After every off road use, allow to cool and then check for a build up of dirt and debris in the air intake and cooling fins. Dirt and debris may clog the engine’s air cooling system. Clean areas shown to prevent engine damage. Keep linkages, springs and con-trols clean. Keep area around muffler free of any combustible material.At least once a year, (or more often under adverse conditions) the cooling system should be cleaned. Cleaning will assure an adequate supply of air to the cooling fins. Compressed air may be used for routine cooling system mainte-nance.

REAR AXLEThe rear axle is provided with a lubricant level check plug located on the driver side at the rear of the housing. Unless leakage of rear axle lubricant is evident, an annual lubricant check is sufficient.

Incorrectly adjusted valves, spark plug wire which are in poor condition or poor quality fuel could also contribute to the problem.

PROLONGED STORAGE

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death resulting from a possible explosion:Do not handle fuel in an area that is not adequately ventilated. Do not smoke near the fuel tank or refuel near open flame or electrical items which could produce a spark.Store vehicle in a clean, dry area. Do not store in same area as a stove, furnace, water heat-er, or other appliance that uses a pilot light or has a device that can create a spark.When refueling, inspect the fuel cap for leaks or breaks that could result in fuel spillage.Always wear safety glasses while refueling to prevent possible eye injury from gasoline or gasoline vapor.Keep hands, clothing and jewelry away from moving parts. Use care not to contact hot objects. Raise the rear of the vehicle and support on jack stands before attempting to run the engine.

Preparing the engine for a prolonged storage period (30 days or more) calls for a few simple steps to prevent a build up of varnish and gum in the carburetor and corrosion in the engine.

• Turn the Key Switch to OFF position, and leave the Forward/Reverse switch in the NEUTRAL position during storage.

• Perform all required routine maintenance per the Periodic Service Schedule.

• Properly inflate the tires to recommended pressure (psi) stated on sidewall of tires.

• Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position engage the neutral lock, see page 5 - 11.

• Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position.
